Hey Darren!
Im doing ok I guess.
The machine is an early Mark 1 New wave dated September 1993. It's model AC174 1200 Spin. It's just a New Wave Autowasher 1200 Electronic. Not a Plus 5.
The machine was free which is always a good price!
It was due to be scrapped but it's now with me. Had to do quite a bit to it as it was a bit knackered as it had not had problems fixed so things got worse.It has generally not been looked after and had a hard life. The pump had been leaking for ages and there is a lot of rust on one of the "cross Braces" where the suspension and pump is attached to. It hasn't gone through and the metal is still strong so hopefully it will last a while. There is an outer drum fatigue crack in the plastic so I have sealed this with sealant. It needed new motor brushes. Motor is in good nick though. The plastic "wave" lens on the soap drawer is missing but you can still get these. I havn't ordered one yet.
It's now looking better and runs better with no leaks.(Well door seal leaks occasionally but im not to bothered with that).It's the original door seal so it's done well.
The plastic has yellowed.
I have taken the double glazing off the door but for the photos I put it back. I prefer to be able to see properly whats going on!..lol
Here are a few pics for you. Not bad considering it was going to the tip.
